SmartHLS™ Compiler Software

Enabling Faster Design and Easier Verification of Software Accelerators

SmartHLS™ compiler software raises the FPGA design abstraction from traditional hardware description languages to C/C++ software, enabling shorter design time, easier verification and faster time to market for designs using our FPGAs.

In the SmartHLS compiler software, you can implement your design in C++ software and verify the functionality with software tests. Next, the SmartHLS high-level synthesis software compiles the C++ program into functionality-equivalent Verilog hardware modules. SmartHLS software can run co-simulation with ModelSim to verify cycle-accurate hardware behavior and confirm that the hardware functionality matches the software. SmartLHS software can generate hardware IP cores that you can integrate into a larger system using SmartDesign. It can also run Libero® software synthesis on the generated Verilog to determine the FPGA area and fMAX.
